5 Ways of Making Waste Less of a Burden
August 19, 2021When Waste Management and Waste Collection Fail us
August 31, 2021Rubbish or waste is part of our existence as it is a by-product of just living our lives. Consuming goods, manufacturing goods - in fact any human activity - results in some sort of generation of waste. This waste becomes a problem when it is not dealt with appropriately and begins to pollute our environment. This is not a new issue and most countries around the world have short term and long-term plans to deal with waste management and the consequences of bad waste management.
Chester has won the title of being the Cleanest City in the past, so this continued effort has gathered recognition. There is a continuous problem with discarded litter, trade waste and fly tipping, so to keep our city beautiful and clean requires an effort by the public. Ours is a beautiful city with much to offer and the council and public alike make a big effort to keep our streets and general environment clean.
Our tourism which is the lifeblood of many businesses in our beautiful city, as well as a great source of employment of our community, has taken a knock during the long months of the shutdown, but now with the relaxing of the rules, the Chester Business Improvement District have spruced up the city centre in anticipation of its re-opening. Tourist attractions have been given a good clean and many businesses have joined in the effort by smartening up their shop fronts. This annual cleaning up of our city event has been more important this year as extra effort has been made to attract visitors back.
With this waste management activity, there has been pressure on recycling businesses, and on waste removal companies such as Rubbish Removal Chester. We are always ready to step in to help with any rubbish collection in our beautiful city. We can help you dispose of your garbage that you generate at home in a responsible manner. We can also assist with disposing of any waste generated by businesses around the city. We are flexible with our hours of operation and can help over the weekend and even offer a same day rubbish removal service if it is required. So we are available for those emergencies that cannot wait for the council, and we remove and dispose of any waste in a lawful way.
What Can We Do to Cut Down on the Amount of Rubbish Needing Collection?
We need to be aware of the effect of what we throw away has on our environment. There is a growth in the amount of waste that is generated every year, but if we are to look after our environment and leave it in a good place for future generations, plans have to be in place to try and get this amount of waste under control.
- We can improve our recycling methods in our homes, and it is going to take an effort from all residents to remedy the situation.
- Technology has come a long way when it comes to turning garbage into something else. We have to ensure that our waste is taken to the right place for this to be carried out so that as little as possible of this junk goes to our landfills.
- With the average person in the UK throwing away 880lbs of waste every year, of which only 45% is recycled, there is room for improvement. Northern Ireland and Wales both recycle more than this.
- Work with the Council or with professional rubbish collection experts such as Rubbish Removal Chester to ensure that our waste is removed responsibly.
- This message needs to get through to other places where rubbish is generated such as industries and commercial establishments. They produce waste in large volumes, and the type of waste can be very harmful to our environment if it is not processed correctly.
The Many Types of Waste Generated Around Chester
- Recyclable waste can undergo a process to turn it into new and reusable materials for other purposes. This includes plastics, glass, and paper, and this is the easiest type of waste to recycle.
- Household waste that is generated from our everyday life, is the trash that is normally removed by the council. We are encouraged to recycle as much as possible, separating the different elements.
- Large items such as furniture, appliances, and equipment is more difficult to dispose of as often you have to hire a rubbish removal company to take it away. Some of this type of waste needs specialist recycling as it may contain toxic elements that are dangerous for our environment. Rubbish Removal Chester is experienced in disposing of this type of waste, and we can advise you if you are not sure on how to proceed.
- Garden waste such as grass clippings, branches, weeds etc. can all be composted and turned into something of value to be used in our gardens. We at Rubbish Removal Chester can assist you with the removal of this type of waste.
- Construction waste is bulky and needs to be removed and disposed of in a specialised manner. This type of waste is harmful to the environment and may not just be fly tipped, so it is important to ensure that it is disposed of responsibly.
- E-waste or electronic waste is the fastest growing waste stream as our gadgets and electronic equipment go out of date so quickly and are replaced regularly with new models. E-waste needs to be disposed of and recycled with care as the components are toxic to the environment.
- Medical waste and hazardous waste needs specialist removal as it can cause harm to the general public, as well as the environment. This waste needs careful removal and disposal by specialist companies.
